IMPROVEMENT IN COOKING-STOVES.

Specification forming part of Letters Patent No. 150,781, dated May 12, 1874; application iled March 25, 1874.

To all whom it may concern:

Be it known that I, GEORGE N. PALMER, of Elmira, in the county of Ohemung and State of New York, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Oooking- Stoves; and I do hereby declare that the following is a full, clear, and exact description thereof, reference being had to the accompanying drawings, and to the letters of reference marked thereon, which form part of this specification.

The nature of my improvements consists in the peculiar arrangement of the dampers with relation to the oven and flue surrounding the same, as will be more fully set forth hereafter.

Figure l is a central vertical section. Fig. 2 shows a vessel with pipe connecting with the smoke-pipe.

A represents the oven of the stove, with front flue B, top flue B1, rear or back flue B2, and bottom ue B3. These lues all extend the entire width of the stove, and have no divis-v ions or partitions, as is` usual in what is known as d1v1ng1-1ilue stoves. C represents the lirebox or chamber, located in front of the flue B,

down the flue B1-is unobstructed, and the results are as above described. When the'damp- It will be noticed that mystove is of the class known as low-oven stoves, in which heretofore the products of combustion have not been made to pass from the nre-chamber down to the bottom of the oven. l l

Having thus fully described my invention, what I claim as new, and desire to secure by Letters Patent, is-

1. The hinged perforated damper b, provided with the slide d, and arranged in the top due B1, for the purpose of more thoroughly regulat-in g the amount of heat in its passage around the oven, substantially as herein set forth.

2. The combination of dampers b, provided Y with slide d, with damper f, both being arranged in relation to each other substantially as shown.

In testimony that I claim the foregoing as my own I affix my signature in presence ot' two witnesses.

GEORGE N. PALMER.
